Training Camp Day 1 Report

Sunday brought the much-anticipated opening of training camp at McMaster.  Enthusiasm was evident as longtime Tiger-Cats were joined by veteran additions like Andy Fantuz, Kevin Eiben and Terence Jeffers-Harris.  

– Five players joined the roster and participated in both practices:  RB James Berezik, FB Sam Fournier, DB DeWayne Lewis, DE Matt Oh and former Alouettes DE Jermaine McElveen.
– Running back Chevon Walker didn’t look any slower on Sunday after showing off his speed throughout rookie camp.  Walker tore off two long runs after escaping defenders with his jets.   

STORY: Ticats.ca staff writer Fraser Caldwell says the vets are confronting a new set of surroundings, and assuming leadership roles.
